    I knew it was water weight, just not sure why it whooshed all of a sudden! I had a biopsy on my scalp yesterday along with some steroid shots. I can't help but wonder if that helped me released that water weight. Either way, I'm happy with this!

    Calories: under

    Exercise: 15 minute strength training video and 25 minute HIIT on the treadmill

    I met my goals for today except for counting my carbs but I know that they are low. There is this thing called a chaffle that is one egg, 1/2 cup of cheese, and spices or other add-ins. People make them in this tiny 4" waffle maker and it's a game-changer for making "bread" while on Keto. They come out super crispy and tonight I had a sloppy Joe chaffle that was delicious! :)

    steps nov 20 -- 7591

    Gym challenge- so I missed yesterday so I wont win the challenge unfortunately. I just had other stuff to do.

    But I went 19 days in a row so that is a record and I'll see how much I can do until the end of nov when the challenge ends.

    Today I did go and saw my trainer.

    Cals on track though I havent been eating super well since I'm busy working, just havent been eating much. Hope to make some good meals this weekend.

    @AustinRuadhain Thanks for responding! If I said I wasn't eating something for health reasons I kind of sound like a weenie as we all have diabetes, I'm just more strict about what I eat. I feel like I come across self-righteous, especially since going off meds. Oh well, I don't see them that often so it isn't every day!

    @davors19 - Great job staying moving! 😊🚶🏿

    @bethanie0825 - Super great stepping day! 🚶🏿😅 🏆

    @Katmary71 - Ah, well, as you say, you don't see them very often. This conversation is indeed a great reminder that you are off diabetes meds! That is so inspiring! (Maybe as they see you keep up the great work, some of them will be inspired to make changes?) 🏆😊

    @Sunshineplace - 🎈 Congratulations on a great weigh-in! 🌟 So delighted for you! 🎉

    @its_cleo - Hurray to getting back to the gym today! and to calories being on track!

    @leonadixon - Woohoo! Congratulations on the excellent weigh-in! Sometimes the numbers work in mysterious ways. SO glad for you that you persisted, and that it paid off today! Keep it up! 🎉👍🏽👍🏽

    @TeresaW1020 - Wow! What a great day you had! Your chaffle sounds great! 👍🏽

    @mrmcgrath - Great day Thursday! Great work! 🏆

    I'm not sure what's happening. I'm eating way to much of things I shouldn't be eating. My husband said he'd help me start keto on Monday. But the scale already says I've gained 3 pounds.
    Everytime my son calls or pops into my head I start crying. I know I'm a emotional eater. My lungs are bad again so all I have to do is start cleaning and I gasping for air. I can't wait till Wednesday, I hope the doctor can fix me so I can move without wanting to pass out. I'm trying to get rid of any food I can't eat in the house. My husband has to hide his junk somewhere so I won't see it. Out of sight, out of mind.
    I figure by the end off this challenge I'll be all ready set up to go. I always do things *kitten* backwards lol. I hope you will do next month too. I'll definitely be ready.

    Now to everyone else. I hope your all are having success in your own Challenges in your own ways.
    I wish you all health and happiness.

    Make time for yourself: in a not great work day, I got up early and went to the free work gym, took a walk during the day and picked up the grandbaby and played played.... =>
    Exercise 30 minutes a day: back on track!
    Hydrate: picking back up!
    Give up a trigger food / behavior: working to just not overeat - that's enough for today
    Thankful for: a week off, the whole week of the US Thanksgiving

    Remember the good, be the good, encourage others on their journey

    What a week - and now comes a week off, very much looking forward to it. So many things on my mind about this journey. I've been more mindful about listening to my body hunger cues, have heard me say ridiculous things to myself and had a perspective shift before I took eating action, etc., and more.

    I think I'll take this opportunity for an early night to bed - I know, I'm some kind of party animal.

    I am so sorry for all you are going through.

    I have been made aware of a few books that have helped me get on track, diet and health wise. The Diet Fix by Yoni Freedhoff and currently I am reading The Inflammation Spectrum by Dr. Will Cole. He also wrote Ketotarian (but I haven’t read that one).

    30 day gym challenge yesterday- went on the treadmill for 30 minutes.

    Hydration- tracking this again did well yesterday.

    Cals- over yesterday but I think I'm under for the week. My weight has fluctuated all week slightly so I will see what it is tomorrow on my weigh in day.

    Saturday Check-in:

    Water: over
    Exercise: BOD weight training video and 15-minute treadmill walk

    Steps 11/22-7836

    Well, I have been stressing out about the holidays and how to handle it all. :s I have 7 eating events already scheduled and some of them are in no way on my Keto plan and they can't be altered to fit my plan. Most of these events are traditions that I love and only come at this time of the year. So, I did some thinking and I decided that it really doesn't have to be an all or nothing choice. I'm going to do the best I can at these events while at the same time enjoy my family, friends, and yes the food! I'm not going to strive to do perfect Keto but instead, just try to stick to low-carb eating as much as I can. I will continue my workouts and intermittent fasting. If I end the year without a big gain then I will consider it a success and be grateful. :)

    What about you all? Are the holidays stressing you out? Do you have a plan? I would love to hear from you. :)

    Water- over

    5 for 90
    1. Gym 3xs a week- went today
    2. 30 min exercise a day- done
    3. Decluttering- none today
    4. Social media- check
    5. Trigger food- ate more simple carbs than usual at parents but avoided sugary food. Had it reinforced that I can't have anything fried at all by getting sick after having some fries.

    @TeresaW1020 Wow, that's a lot of events to be strong for! It sounds like you have a good plan on how to cope. Luckily my family has a semi-healthy celebration. I'm in charge of salad and vegetables so those I'll have big servings of while having smaller servings of other stuff. I plan on having dessert, an Armenian dish, and probably a small serving of mashed potatoes. I just have to remember it's not all-or-nothing. A few of us go for walks after dinner so the extra exercise will be good, I don't want to feel horrible afterward. Good luck with all your meals!
